India’s Best Workation Spots: Laptops, Lattes & Landscapes

Because if you’re going to work remotely, you might as well have a killer view

Let’s be honest — that whole “work from home” dream we were sold looked like laptop life in Bali with a pina colada in one hand and flawless Wi-Fi in the other. Reality? We traded cubicles for slightly-less-depressing couches, office pantry views for kitchen sinks, and the soothing hum of central AC for the relentless drone of our fridge.

Most of us didn’t become “digital nomads.” We became “digital stay-at-homes” — same meetings, different chair, slightly worse lumbar support. Basically, corporate purgatory with a side of bad coffee.

But here’s the thing: a real workation exists. Not a Pinterest mood board, not a blurry Zoom background. A place where Wi-Fi meets waterfalls, spreadsheets meet sunsets, and you can actually feel like a functioning human again. Because if you’re going to respond to “circle back on this” emails, you might as well do it with snow-capped peaks or a beach at your window.

Welcome to the honest version of the laptop life — where work, life, and Wi-Fi finally learn to get along.

What's With The Street Food?

[Try our snack, you will remember the taste for hours]

How often do you opt for street food? Does it teases your taste buds? According to a study, more than 2.5 billion people eat street food every day.

Historically, it is believed that street food came into the picture because the poor didn't have kitchens in their homes.

Today, the reasons have changed and so is the taboo associated with it historically. Now a days, people love street food and have various reasons to opt for it.

• Ethnic taste;
• Readily available and;
• Most importantly, it is reasonably priced.
  
  

Well, who does not want to grab a quick bite while shopping or if you are in a rush? Being easily available and presented in a tempting way, it makes you drool over it even if you are not so hungry. 

Street food is served around the world but varies with the countries and cultures.

• In India, people tempt for chaat, dahi-bhalla, faluda, vada-paav and gol gappa which I have seen changing its name to pani puri in Maharashtra and pani patisa in Rajasthan.
• In Viet Nam, street food relies heavily on herbs, chili peppers and lime. 
• Thailand is famous for "fiery" and "pungent with shrimp paste and fish sauce"
• New York City's signature street food is the hot dog.

It still remains a fact that they never taste as good when made at home. Be it their spices, their way of preparation or the way they serve. 

Street food is turning into a culture in some countries and few like China, India and Nigeria are the fastest growing street food markets that even few companies have captured and branded the street food market too. On the other hand, walking on the street while eating is considered rude in some cultures, such as Japan. Difference in cultures and history have resulted in various aspects and how a street vendors operate all over the world.

I am totally in love with the street food. What about you? Are you a street foodie?
